  2. Frequency domain sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_domain_sensor

    Capacitance probe, or fringe capacitance sensor.Capacitance probes use capacitance to measure the dielectric permittivity of the soil. The volume of water in the total volume of soil most heavily influences the dielectric permittivity of the soil because the dielectric constant of water (80) is much greater than the other constituents of the soil (mineral soil: 4, organic matter: 4, air: 1).

  3. Capacitance probe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance_probe

    The configuration is like the neutron probe where an access tube made of PVC is installed in the soil; probes can also be modular (comb-like) and connected to a logger. The sensing head consists of an oscillator circuit, the frequency is determined by an annular electrode, fringe-effect capacitor, and the dielectric constant of the soil. Each ...

  4. TDR moisture sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TDR_moisture_sensor

    A TDR waveguide with exposed wires. In the waveform analysis a sensor (usually a probe) is placed in the material to be tested. The sensor contains a waveguide consisting of two, three, or more parallel wires which is connected via a coaxial cable to a voltage pulse generator which sends precisely defined voltage pulses into the sensor.

    Samples can be collected using a soil probe or a small garden spade. Soil should be sampled to root depth, which typically means 5 to 8 inches for trees, shrubs, flowerbeds and vegetable gardens ...

  6. Soil moisture sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_moisture_sensor

    A simple soil moisture sensor for gardeners. Soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content in soil. [1] Since the direct gravimetric measurement of free soil moisture requires removing, drying, and weighing of a sample, soil moisture sensors measure the volumetric water content indirectly by using some other property of the soil, such as electrical resistance, dielectric constant ...

  7. Tensiometer (soil science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensiometer_(soil_science)

    Electronic tensiometer probe: (1) porous cup; (2) water-filled tube; (3) sensor-head; (4) pressure sensor. A tensiometer in soil science is a measuring instrument used to determine the matric water potential (soil moisture tension) in the vadose zone.
